to be transferred from "authorization" to "globa". Norwegian production showed only a slight increase. from Hong Kong rose by 24% in the poriod 1966-68.

to be transferred from "authorization" to "quota". Norwegian production showed a slight decline.
to be transferred from "export licence" to "quota". In the period 1966-63 Norwegian production was down 25%. Imports from Hong Kong rose by 30%, and Hong Kong's share of the market amounted to 52% in the first half of 1969.
Quota desired. Items under this classification number correspond to the synthetic itoms of HK 841.462. Norwegian production was down 35%, while imports from Hong Kong rose by 25% and Hong Kong's share of the market was 39% in the first half of 1969. Norwegian export is very small compared
to import.
